Giant meteorite crashes into moon causing explosion

If you saw a flash on the moon on March 17th, it was not just your imagination. A huge meteorite crashed into the lunar surface at 56,000 mph creating a new crater about 65-feet wide according to Yahoo News.

They say the light from the crash created a bright flash of light that was visible with the naked eye on that night.

Scientists say this is the biggest explosion they’ve seen since experts have been watching the moon.
